Question

In humans, total adrenalectomy is fatal without replacement therapy whereas hypophysectomy is not. This is because after hypophysectomy:
1. the adrenal cortex undergoes compensatory hypertrophy
2. the adrenal catecholamines compensate for the metabolic actions of cortisol
3. the secretion of aldosterone is not markedly decreased.
4. tissue requirements for corticosteroids decrease markedly.
5. all of the above
